What we’re about
Technical Excellence is the foundation of sustainable software engineering. Without technical excellence, there's no quality; the development is slow and cannot be sustainable. Without technical excellence, there's no agility.
Do you want to share knowledge about software quality, to build better products?
This group is for engineering leaders and software developers who are motivated by building high-quality solutions and continuously improving. Technical Excellence is both a mindset and a set of practices to help us build quality software faster and deliver value sooner.
Our focus will be on the following topics:
- Extreme Programming
- Software Craftsmanship
- Continuous Integration
- Continuous Delivery
- Trunk Based Development
- Test Driven Development
- Hexagonal Architecture
- Clean Architecture
- Domain Driven Design
- Use Case Driven Design
- System Design
- Clean Code
- Refactoring
- Technical Leadership
- Learning Culture
Our sessions will be in English, held remotely, and open to participants across the globe.
Our goal is to share knowledge, discuss diverse perspectives and synthesize our collective knowledge.

See all- Modernizing legacy systems with the Strangler Fig pattern— Daniel Raniz RanelandLink visible for attendees
Stuck in a legacy system that needs modernizing? Feel like the best course of action is to throw it in a dumpster, light it on fire and rewrite everything from scratch - maybe even in a different language?
Hold that thought. While it may be tempting to start a rewrite, rewrites of complicated systems rarely succeed because of multiple reasons. Chief among them is time and the fact that not everything can stop and wait for the rewrite, but another important contributor is the second system effect, which usually causes rewrites to be of lesser quality than that which they replace.
In this talk I'll share my experiences with the Strangler Fig pattern, which is a better approach where the original system is gradually replaced by breaking out or rewriting parts into separate systems. I'll also talk about combining this with Domain Driven Design and how paying attention to the new design can also make sure that you align with Conway's law.
Outline of the session:
- Something about legacy systems
- Rewrites and issues with them
- The strangler fig pattern
- Testautomation
- DDD/Conway’s law
- Experiences
